Editorial Review

Gallery opening of the week

Friday, November 13, 2009

In the Fridge group show "I RAN Home (in America)," featuring Iranian American artists expounding on Persian culture, economy and war, Pooneh Maghazehe's images of branded meat hang on the wall, not unlike sorry dinner choices at the local grocery.

On Saturday, the New York artist will perform the project live in the gallery, searing meat and other objects with the symbols of Islam and serving them to the crowd.

And for dessert? Gallery-goers will get a taste of bastani, Persian-style ice cream.

"Branding and Bastani" is the first in a series of events tied to "I RAN Home," which also features photos by Hadieh Shafie, who created tiny scrolls of text inspired by whirling dervishes, and reworked fashion objects by Eric Robert Parnes.
